Polls are open across our Mid-Michigan neighborhoods.

Voters in several communities will decide on millages to fund improvements in their local school districts.

For the last couple of weeks, our neighborhood reporters have been digging into the millages to find out what school districts are asking voters to approve and what the financial impact, if any, would be on local taxpayers. For more information on the proposals in each of our neighborhoods, click the links on the individual cities below.

In Lansing, voters will choose nine commissioners to serve on the city's charter commission. This comes after voters approved the commission's formation in November 2023; the Lansing City Charter will be revised for the first time since 1978.
